Chokushi-Mon Layout

Among the many beautiful sights at Kew Gardens, we enjoyed the intricately carved gate found in the Japanese Gardens.  If you are ever at Kew Gardens, it's well worth seeking it out! I tried to recreate the look of the maple branches found on Japanese art and added a couple of butterflies just for fun.
